What foreign language did you learn in school?

Well in reality, you did learn Spanish. Spanish from spain or American Spanish. the problem is, those who come here from Spanish speaking countries nowadays a: expect you to cater to them and speak their language and b: speak THEIR language to begin with!

I recently tried to 'bilingualize' my computer and when I chose Spanish, it asked me what version/dialect... then it gave me a LAUNDRY LIST OF NO LESS THAN 26 DIFFERENT DIALECTS. so that means that we have to not only know Spanish BUT 26 VERSIONS OF IT and know when to use what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


couple this with fact that many Hispanics refuse to acknowledge there are even ANY dialects let alone 26 [other Hispanics and Spanish people agree that there are dialects] and here we are....having to cater to the people too lazy to learn 'where is the bathroom, please?' or 'excuse me'.


I now just say Pardo`n [on the subway because it easier to say it in three languages at once [French, Spanish and English.]

You should have allowed multiple answers.

Between high school and university, including graduate school, I did at least a semester of five different languages: French, German, Greek, Latin, Spanish

French, German and Ancient Greek during my first three years of high school. I'm in my final year of high school (in the Netherlands) so I've studied English (since it's a foreign language in the Netherlands) and Latin for six years now.

French and German are official Belgian languages, so I don't count those. Other than that, English. Tried Latin, but as soon as they added Greek to the mix, I swiftly decided to not study it anymore.

Spanish and Japanese

Latin, French, German

English, French and German. (My mother tongue is Norwegian.)

Four years of Spanish and I forgot most of it. Wish I took Latin instead.
